There is no such thing as a 'gunshow loophole'

The same laws that apply outside of a gunshow apply inside of a gunshow. Nothing is different about transactions that happen at a gunshow. 'Gunshow loophole' is a completely fabricated term put forth by the willfully ignorant or lazy.

How many aspects do you need?

The loophole is that somebody at a gun show who sees a gun he wants but doesn't want to submit to an instant background check can have his friend buy it there for him. The loophole is that criminals know that they can choose more easily from a wider variety of guns at gun shows from private sellers.

Your example is called a "straw sale" and is very much illegal under current laws.

You couldn't have whiffed on this any worse if you'd intentionally tried to give the wrongest answer possible.
